The tournament didn't turn out like I hoped but we had a good showing as far as points go. 115 boats will be fishing this trail and they will pay 11 places per tournament. A few less places than the normal 20% but if you get in the money you will get a good check.
We blasted off boat 7. Would have loved to have been in the last flight. Our check in time was 3:00, last flight was 4:15. Could have really used another hour to fish.
We ended up with 4 fish for 14 1/2 pounds. Caught two good ones on our second stop, one about 10:00, and the final good one at about 12:00. We needed some sun but it didn't come out until late.
Final two flights moved us from top 10 to 24th. It took 20 lbs to win so we were one big bite away. Another keeper would have went a long way in the points as well.
Next week I will be at Norman practicing for the Anglers Choice tournament which is two weeks away. New trail for this area so hope to see a good turn out. I will report back next weekend on how practice goes.
Also want to put a plug in for the Ranger Z521C. My partner has that boat and we used it for the tournament. I ran the boat all day and was extremely impressed with the ride and power. Fully loaded we were able to hit 70 and the boat drove absolutely perfect.
